I usually make New Year’s resolutions but I never keep them especially the ones about losing weight and getting into shape, so I’m not even going to bother with that one.
If I make it about my writing projects, then my resolutions for the year will resemble my to-do list for this week. There’s a proofreading I’ve got to get started on, and by started I mean write back to them with our rate and hope they haven’t found somebody else because they contacted us at least a week before Christmas. Things get in the way. There is a translation we haven’t even started with yet, but that’s basically Helena’s thing, I just proofread her work.
Then there are the 4 books I am working on. Three of them are books of poetry and two of them are virtually complete, I just need to read through them and write forwards and stuff. So, I should get them done this week while I still have vacation.
The third I hope to have finished in a couple of months. It’s kind of a different project. There are poems that need to go into it that I haven’t written yet. I can’t give out too much information because I don’t want to jinx it.
The fourth is a novel, sort of a biography, that I’m doing for a friend who gave me all his compiled travel stories but, as he said himself, he is not a writer. There’s some good material there, but I’m kind of bogged down. So, my New Year’s resolution is to get de-bogged.
Actually, I think that’s a pretty good New Year’s Resolution overall. This is the year I want to get debogged, to start doing the things I need to do rather than just getting high a lot and thinking about them.
But, I’ll probably break it.
